In conjunction with Maryland's historic move to the Big Ten Conference on July 1, Maryland athletics will be taking an in-depth look at its future Big Ten foes. Today we continue the series by profiling Michigan State University.

June 2: Illinois; June 4: Indiana; June 6: Iowa; June 9: Michigan; June 11: Michigan State; June 13: Minnesota; June 16: Nebraska; June 18: Northwestern; June 20: Ohio State; June 23: Penn State; June 25: Purdue; June 27: Rutgers; June 30: Wisconsin

Since 1999, the MSU Spartan football team has entered the field to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck." In 2007, clips from the movie "300" were added to accompany "Thunderstruck."

Whenever the opponent has a third down situation, a clip from "300" of King Leonidas shouting "Spartans! What is your profession?" is played. A rousing response from the crowd always follows: "Haroo! Haroo! Haroo!" while thrusting their fists in the air.
